The conservative superpower is declaring somebody an enemy randomly and then making it true by being terrible to them, and avoiding the five seconds of attention it would take to realize they don't actually hate them.

This anti-DEI push is literally just an attempt at re-segregating the country. That's why these lists heavily target minorities. Their only goal is for their workplaces and government to be whites only again.
Here's their tip line. It would be a shame if people started flooding the site with nonsense tips.
“I don’t know what the intention of the list is for,” the person said.
Yes you do, it's for Trump's brownshirts
Conservative Accountability? lol
That’s an oxymoron if ever I saw one.
I think I've had enough internet for a few months.
I just feel so despairing and helpless. I'm not even American.
This is so terrifying and it's all happening at break neck speed. I feel so helpless. It's like some nightmare version of whack-a-mole.
Their states strategy is to overwhelm the system so it/we cannot cope. I haven't heard of a good strategy to counter this, but we'll need to find one.
Personally, I think you have to realize that you cannot singlehandedly fight every battle. Then pick one cause that is important to you and go fight for that. Get past the overwhelm and take action on something.
The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government.
The laws of physics give tyrannical governments the power to turn me into a cloud of pink mist the moment I get too uppity.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
It will come to people arming up and then violence as they begin to shoot people out of fear for their lives.
Nothing like Hitler's rise to power. Both sides. Blah blah blah.
Clinton and Obama over saw two massive economic recoveries, and trump and Bush have birth to absolute dumpster fire economies... But sure vote for conservative "for the economy."
Every conservative in office is a nazi supporting piece of shit.
Also, things under Biden were at nearly record levels for so many indicators - in good directions.
There are just a lot of very stupid people.
And YES I'm blaming the voters. And a big fucking thanks to the "liberal media" that kept talking down the economy, FFS.
Unfortunately for Biden a healthy economy didn't translate to money in the pockets of people who needed it.
Giving subsidies to green energy and supporting our allies is good policy, but it doesn't fix the overinflated price of goods and human needs. And that's what Americans working like slaves care about.
It’s almost like the economy doesn’t account for most Americans.
When we judge our success off of GDP and the S&P, when the vast majority of stocks are owned by the rich and most Americans don't own businesses, then yeah, economic success has almost no correlation with median wealth or income.
For anyone who isn't white for the next four(ty) years, I'm really sorry.
There are a lot of whites that are going to be harmed as well. Believe that.
Hey, plenty of white women and white poor people will get fucked as well.
Which is why my wife and I are desperately trying to move to Canada. I'm so sick of the US.
Can you tell me how you're doing it? It seems really difficult.
It is difficult. Basically you have to apply. Prove you can contribute to their country/society . Apply and wait. It can take several months to get denied.
Trying to apply for jobs and get sponsored for a work visa. I don't have a degree, so it's kind of my only option.

Anyone who isn’t a white able bodied straight man who is middle - upper class and isn’t a leftist.
But doxxing the folks working for Elon in the Treasury department is a crime?
Okay.
This is the "law and order" the qons so very much crave.
Law and order will be applied to all of YOU - meaning the others, the peasants, etc...law and order does not apply to ME - meaning those considered part of the in-group.
Naturally a lot of peasant dumbass qons think they'll be part of the in-group. 🤣
Either those people are illegally in the Treasury systems and should be identified or they're legitimate government employees and their public has a right to know who they are.
Okay.
People are looking the other way as this is happening. What if camps are built to more efficiently process those involved, will anyone oppose it? I do not know if it will happen again but what this all shows is how it could and how readily people fall in line.
Every single post or mention I see that's critical of Trump's mass deportation actions is followed immediately with ''they are criminals, they broke the law'' they are ready for all levels of genocide and there's plenty of sensible kick the can democrats who are ALSO ready to not care when this happens. After all. They broke the law.
They "broke a law" by commiting a civil offense like speeding or not renewing your cars registration. Which is usually followed by a fine and an order to get your papers in order.
We typically need those people here illegally because they're contributing to the economy. Way more often than not they pay taxes, but collect no benefits. So the best path forward is really basically to offer citizenship to anyone who is employed, residing here and has been paying taxes for X period of time.
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
They view this comment as they view their Bible they closely hold to their heart as they spew hate and ignorance across the entire populace.

This feels like it should be a federal crime.
It is, but laws don't apply to president Musk and his dog.
They're admitting to us that we can't remove them from power legally
I'm sure someone could of they had the balls to do anything.
Congress has the authority but not the will. People's protests needs to bring them out of lethargy.
I wonder how today's protests went. My guess is 0% gained in achieving anything. But I hope I'm wrong.
This sort of thing starts slowly. By spring time it will be huge. (otherwise USA is finished)
I hope so and I agree.
